A wedding wishlist is for couples who aren't registering but know some guests will give a gift anyway. With GiftMyCrew, you put up to 20 ideas from any store behind one link and pass it to the people who ask. Guests mark what they buy, so nothing arrives twice. It's free, with no account, and it doesn't collect money.

Choose My list only and type both names, such as "Sam & Alex". Add the wedding date if you like; guests will see it.
Paste links from any store or type ideas in your own words. A dozen things you want is better than twenty you added to fill the page.
Use Save my link to send yourselves the private link, and open that on your partner's phone. What's been bought then stays hidden from both of you.
Send the link behind Share my list to your parents and whoever is standing up with you. When a guest asks them what you'd like, they pass it on.
It's for the wedding that doesn't need a department store behind it: a courthouse ceremony, an elopement you announce afterwards, a second marriage, a dinner for a few people, or two people who merged their kitchens years ago and need very little.
A registry does things this doesn't. There's no cash or honeymoon fund here, no way for several guests to pay toward one item, no shipping address, no returns and no record of who gave what, and a list stops at 20 ideas. If you need those, use a registry service.
Some will, happily. Others will give you something whatever you say. That's true enough that the Emily Post Institute, in its advice for couples who'd rather not receive gifts, suggests either registering at a few stores or making a list for your parents and attendants to share if they're asked.
Those are the guests a short list is for. Without one they guess, or they call your mother and she guesses. With one, the people set on buying you something buy a thing you'd have chosen yourselves.
No, and that's much of the point. A store registry lives at one retailer, so wanting things from three places means three registries and three links for your guests. Here the cast-iron pan from a kitchen store, the print from an artist's own site and the tent from an outdoor shop all sit on one page.
An idea doesn't need a store at all. "A good bottle for our first anniversary" or "a plant for the front step" works as typed, and leaves the choosing to the guest.
Cash is often the right gift for a couple whose household is already set up, and this list can't take it. Nothing here processes a payment.
The workaround is plain text. Add an idea such as "Toward our trip to Lisbon" and say in the note how you'd like to receive it. Know the limits first: the note is visible to everyone who has the link, and an idea can be marked as bought only once, so ask guests in the note not to mark that one. If collecting money is most of what you want, a cash-fund service is built for that. Read its fee page before you choose one.
Sort this out before you share the link, because the list won't do it for you. A store registry sends gifts to an address you gave it. This list has no address field and no delivery, so every guest who buys something needs your address from somewhere else.
The safer way is to give it to the same people who are passing the link along and let them share it one to one. You can also type it into the note on an idea, and some couples will find that simpler. Know what that means before you do: everyone who has the link can read it, the link can be forwarded, and your address will sit on the same page as your wedding date. If you'd be uneasy about that page reaching a stranger, keep the address off it.
Not every guest will bring a gift on the day. The usual advice to guests is to send a wedding gift before the wedding or soon after, and bringing gifts to the reception is a custom in some regions, not everywhere.
Bought marks are hidden in any browser that has opened the list's private link. Everywhere else the share link shows them, and that includes your partner's phone until it has opened the private link.
So open the list on the second phone with the private link, the one behind Save my link, and not with the share link. Both of you can then add and edit ideas, and neither of you sees what's been bought. Treat that private link like a key. There's no account behind it, and it's the only way back in.
By hand. The list shows that something was bought and never by whom, so it can't tell you who to thank. Keep each card with its gift as things arrive, or jot the giver and the gift in a note on your phone the day you open it. For a small wedding, that's a short job.
No. It's a shared list with bought marks. It has no checkout, cash fund, group gifting, shipping or returns, and it holds up to 20 ideas.
Not through the list. You can type an idea that says what you're saving for and explain in the note how to send a contribution, but the list won't collect or track it.
No. It links out to each store and shows what's been bought, and that's all. Guests buy from the store themselves and need your address from you or your family.
No. The share link opens in any browser, and a guest can mark a gift as bought without an account or an email address.
Any time, with one caveat. A list is deleted after 90 days with no changes, or 30 days after the event date, if that's later. A wedding date within the next year keeps the list until after the wedding. A date further out than that isn't counted, so edit the list now and then, or make it closer to the day.
